      The right used to at least pretend to be into law and order.

        They still pretend, they just also pretend that the rule of law is different than what it is.

        You know how many far-righters have “back the blue” and thin blue line bumper stickers?

          Yes the same guys who rant about government tyranny yet defend police (government employees/enforcers) at every opportunity love to also rant about the rule of law unless those rules are applied to them or their current flavor of the week messiah.

        They’ve always backed conservative cops enforcing conservative laws against “other people” but letting conservatives off with a warning.

        They were never into law and order.

        They were just into law beating and brutalizing black and poor people.
